No 'jump on' or 'throwing under the bus', at all!
I think they actually think she does have good ideas, but aren't really thinking of those ideas as losers because quite often the losses were 'close'. They need to realize she's a dud and take appropriate action. In other words, they need to do what you are accusing them of... throw her under the bus. She loses task after task, and then crows about how great she is and how she is the most safe of the group. WEIRD.

People will often ask or I will offer to put something into words for them in writing. I am am not saying I am a talented writer, it's just that sometimes people think I can express their ideas in writing. I think it has to do with my verbosity.

The point is it begins as their idea(s) but since I am writing it, I am in a way, editing their thoughts and influencing the final product with my own thinking. Thus it can transform into what I think is the better or funnier or most acceptable way to express their thoughts, and alter the main idea.

As an example, if Aubrey had been writing/editing the script for Unanimous. she would have automatically used the term "old school" instead of old fashioned. I actually think she was correct because old school has some positive or neutral vibes, while old-fashioned sounds a tad negative.

I don't know if I am being clear here,(so much for any writing talent ) but my opinion is that when Lisa or Aubrey take over the writing, the final product is a collaboration, but the writer absolutely is accountable.

Whatever her ideas, Lisa does come across as very authoritative during the tasks. She carries a clipboard, puts on her reading glasses, and knows all the shop talk about production. (Aubrey used to do this, too--she sounded like a leader, until you realized the actual content she was suggesting was blatantly crazy.) I think this is why others defer to her during tasks--because first chance she gets, she acts like she's the one in charge.

I think the opposite is true for Dayana. Between her youth, her beauty, and her softer tone, she doesn't appear the tough executive. She sits on the outside of the circle, and her demeanor kind of says, "Hey guys! Look at me! I have an idea, too!" It really doesn't matter what the content is at that point, especially since Lisa begins eye-rolling the minute Dayana opens her mouth. Yet she's made good suggestions and famously saved the day when Penn called Walgreen's "Walmart." I'm glad she has managed to stick around.

I agree. It would have been nice though if she had noticed that while they were filming. Arsenio and Clay may have changed it had they had time.

Aubrey was also correct, in terms of graphic design, about which photo of Arsenio should be used. But she goes about it all wrong. I've done both editing and design work. You present your case to the client as to the benefits of how you've written it or designed it, but it's the client's final call. Aubrey did make her case to Arsenio, but she should have gone with what he wanted. I doubt very much, though, that the Walgreen's execs would have picked up on the minor design flaw. And even with Arsenio's photo smaller, the design would have worked with Arsenio on the top of the box and the other 4 around the sides.

The phrase was part of her lines during the taping of the commercial. She's the one that said it, probably numerous times, without noticing that it was not good. I call bull&!@%. That girl is too sneaky for it to be an oversight.

Re: Celebrity Apprentice 4/8 Episode ****SPOILERS****

Just a thought here.... upon the finale with hopefully Clay and Arsenio, we have to remember that Trump will bring back the 'fired' contestants to help with the Project manager. You KNOW they'll bring back Lisa and/or Aubrey to stir the pot for whomever is in the final two. Or Lou, Debbie, or maybe even Cheryl...

Re: Celebrity Apprentice 4/8 Episode ****SPOILERS****

I hated how Trump screwed over Tana by choosing the three worst possible people, one of whom was even fired in just the second episode, to be on her final team back in Season 3, which she ultimately lost.

Yes, and it wouldn't surprise me if Lisa or Aubrey actually sabotage their PM. Them two are a different kind of nasty.
